Lordfrosty, all i can suggest is to try and get and keep the local council on-side. We are working with the council and getting good results. They have suggested putting a fence up, and have requested us to prepare a 5year plan for the club.

well ive got a new site up. not bad for a first effort http://sportrc.cjb.net/
say nige how did you go about gettin the track built eg land ect. any info you wish to share would be bloody grate. thanks

Unfortunately i can't help you with how the land was aquired, but it is in a public reserve alongside a model train track

The track was built about 15years ago primarily for 1/10 electric offroad and up until late last year had virtually been abandoned. Since then, a group of us joined forces and with the assistance and approval of Southern Districts Model Car Club we proceeded to upgrade the track to be able to handle 1/8 nitro. Progress and pics of the track can be found on this site: http://www.rc-racing.inghams.net/rc-racing/mv_offroad_racing/mv-racing.htm and the club site is here: http://www.sdmcc.asn.au/
So far we have increased the track length to 195metres, but hope to have it extended to over 300 before our planned 2day enduro meet in October 2006.

well its all lookin good over here. we have the support of the local member and also from the director o fenviroment. we will be having a meeting soon with the recreation officer here so it all looks good so far. keep checkin the new site for updates.

ok. well we have a meeting monday with the council all is looking good. if any of you guys know anyone from over here lookin for a club to join tell em to drop us an email. if any of you huys interstate are interested let us know. input would be good. thanks guys and looking forward to your support

LOL Yep my nom is in, i was the first to nominate, i guess just right forum right time :). I have just noticed they have gone to two meetings per month! i will have to try and get to every meeting but it will be difficult. i may see you on the 11th if you make it out there.

Yeah, as of June, we are going to be running 2 meetings a month. 2nd and 4th sundays. I won't be racing on the 4th sunday as i will be running those meets (just one of the responsibilities for being on the comittee i guess LOL) We have had numerous requests for 2 meets per month, but as we only have one set of transponders that were in use every weekend we were unable to. With the unfortunate demise of the indoor EP carpet racing on the 4th sundays it has meant we are able to step in and use the transponders that weekend

Paul here. MILDURA. Vic. We have a knew track / club here, "Mildura R/C car club. Still in the early stages but is slowly getting better. It all takes time. Plenty of elbow grease from club members to. Club Pres got the use of the land off local council.
